Rank 2. Mecenas
Cocktail Bar
A former parking garage turned stuccoed cocktail bar, Mecenas lands at number 18 on North America's 50 Best Bars list. The name nods to the Roman arts patron, and the ethos follows: everything here is made with care, from spirits to reductions brewed in-house. Liqueurs follow Jalisco's tradition of cane alcohol distillation, with neutral cane spirit as the base for things like limoncello and lavender cream.

Dive Bar

- The 50 The 50: The 50 Discovery
-
The name translates as "end your suffering," which sets the tone pretty well for a mezcal bar stocking more than 70 varieties. The founder is a documentary filmmaker and mezcal industry organizer, so this is less a bar than a small education in smoke. Pechuga, made with chicken breast and tasting nothing like it sounds, is worth asking about. Named a Discovery by The 50, it draws the kind of regulars who actually want to talk about what's in the glass.
